Bodido - You can put the parts you have to good use. Go ahead and tweek the car with that .062 t-plate and add the white springs to the dampners. Also, you should try some stiffer center springs to make up for the softness of the t-plate. Match that to the track surface where you may have some bumps or it may be smooth, or you have carpet that is inherently slick. You will have to decide that part on your own. But the good news is that you have an assortment of springs and oil to try.

Now the t-plate comparison topic which is very popular. I disagree with Casey in that each t-plate has it's own characteristics and is good for a particular application. The fiberglass t-plates have a dampening characteristic that the spring steel t-plate doesn't have. I suggest the fiberglass on bumpy tracks because you don't have to depend on the center shock to do all of the dampening. And you can adjust the degree of each based on whether you use 2 or 3 screws to mount to motor pod to the t-plate. The spring steel t-plate might have too much rebound in its natural frequency to use on a bumpy track because you might end up making the center shock too stiff. The side to side stiffness differs between the three so you can use the spings to give more options as stated in the paragraph above.

So, if you have a tremendously bumpy track, you can use the .062 fiberglass t-plate with a good center shock and spring combination that will let the rear of the car settle in for forward bite. Then you can use the springs on the dampners to adjust the response of the car to fit the characteristics of the layout.

Most important thing ------Tires. You have to be using the right tires before any of this makes a difference. And there are different tires available for these applications. Also, the different suppliers products have different characteristics, too. Good luck and good racing.
